They sure are acting strange recently. The other evening they were all racing in a group, doing the 4 legged hop thing...and generally having a ball. Just like the lambs do. Lots of jumping and head butting the last few days.
Not seen them like this before...I guess it's the piles of grass, lack of flies, cooler temps, and the thought of the ram coming back 😃. Happy sheep = happy owner.
Anyone else had similar?

The welsh would for this would be “campo” which is basically joyful and happy/content. As if life is good and they’ve got a spring in their step
